Epilepsy-associated long-term mortality after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage

Conclusions:
Comorbid epilepsy in 12-month survivors of SIA-SAH is associated with increased risk of death in long-term follow-up. Survivors of SIA-SAH require long-term dedicated follow-up, including identification and effective treatment of comorbid epilepsy to prevent avoidable deaths.
